A man who is accused of robbing an Allentown 7-Eleven this morning has been taken into custody, city police said tonight.

Arden Scott, who is believed by police to be traveling from Delaware, is accused of robbing the 7-Eleven at 11 East Susquehanna Street at about 5:40 this morning. Allentown Police Captain Jorge Medero said Scott became “irate” when the store’s cashier told him he didn't have enough money for the items he wanted to purchase.

Scott then allegedly told the cashier he had a gun and left the store without paying for the items.

Police did not know what items Scott allegedly stole. He was later found in the city by Allentown police traveling in a Mercedes-Benz with Delaware license plates, Medero said.
